How does scoring validation work in Arcade?

When is my lineup validated?

We first check your lineup 5 minutes after the final buzzer of the last game involving your players in the Game Week.
 
  • Above the target: the level is validated, and you move to the next one with 4 lives. It stays validated, and you keep the reward, even if a later stat correction brings you below target.
  • Below the target: you lose a life, but the lineup isn’t necessarily over. If a later stat correction takes it above target, the level is validated automatically, and we’ll send you a notification.


Can a score go down before my lineup is validated?

Yes. Your players don’t all play at the same time, and most of them play several games during the Game Week. Only each player’s best game score counts, so a player’s score can go up when they play again. While other players in your lineup still have games left, stat corrections can also move the scores of games that are already finished, up or down.
Your lineup is checked on the latest scores 5 minutes after the final buzzer of the last game involving your players in the Game Week. The protection described above only starts once your level is validated.

 
How long can a stat correction validate my lineup?

Until scores are locked for good. The lock depends on when the last game in your lineup is played:
  • Between Monday 16:00 and Friday 16:00 Paris time: scores lock on Friday at 16:00 Paris time.
  • Between Friday 16:00 and Monday 16:00 Paris time: scores lock on Monday at 16:00 Paris time.

 
After that, scores are final, and no correction can change your result.

 
Do I have to wait for a correction?

No. You can retry the level right away with a new lineup.
If you’ve lost all 4 lives, you have two options:
 
  • Wait: your failed lineups can still be validated by a stat correction until scores lock.
  • Restart the board from level 1: you start a fresh run right away.
Please note that once you restart the board, your previous lineups can no longer be validated by a stat correction.

 
Which scores do I see?

Player scores always show their latest version, including any correction, on your solo and Squad boards and on player pages.
Once your lineup is validated, its total never shows below the target. If a correction lowers a player’s score afterward, your lineup keeps its validated total, so it can be higher than your players’ current scores added up.

 
Squad

Squad works a bit differently because it’s a daily mode. Player scores in your Squad lineups update live, including stat corrections.
Your Squad result is settled the next morning. We use your players’ scores at that moment, whether corrections have moved them up or down since the games ended. That’s also when you can claim your reward.
After that, your Squad result is final: a success stays a success and a failure stays a failure, even if a later correction changes a player’s score.

 
Other Missions

Other Missions still use player scores as they stood 5 minutes after the final buzzer. A correction made after that won’t change the result of a mission, whether the score goes up or down.
Since player pages show live scores, the score counted for your mission can differ from the one you see on the player’s page.
